The Indiana Pacers and Chicago Bulls won their respective games on Wednesday night, eliminating the Miami Heat in the process. With those results, we now know all the playoff matchups when the NBA playoffs begin this weekend.

With the Pacers beating the Atlanta Hawks, they secured the seventh seed and will face the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round. The Bulls clinched the eighth seed in the East and will face the Boston Celtics in the first round.

As of this writing, the only question that still remains is who will have home-court advantage in the first-round series between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Utah Jazz. If the Clippers win on Wednesday night, they will host Game 1.

Here is the playoff bracket, via the NBA (not all records have been updated):
